"We have to consider ethical questions in our work... because often those who benefit from a development are different from those who suffer the consequences." -- Johannes Link

With generative AI, the people who enjoy increased productivity or larger profit margins are typically not the ones who bear the full costs of the technology. The costs are externalized to the people whose copyrighted work was scraped without consent, and to the environment when we significantly increase the data center carbon emissions.

"But it's just a tool we use," does not resolve this ethical problem. Convenience does not justify the harm.

Courthouse News Service: News publishers take fight over copyright of embedded content to Fifth Circuit. “A newspaper publisher urged a Fifth Circuit panel Tuesday to rule that the news aggregator NewsBreak violated the company’s copyright to its online articles by displaying embedded versions of them on the NewsBreak app.”

The glaring double standard between how big tech treats your code versus their code:

- When they steal code from your repository (or directly from your IDE as part of telemetry data): "this is fair use" or "it is transformative synthesis". Or they'll make grandiose claims such as "this is the inevitable path of human technological progress".

- If you try to take from them (remember that courts lean towards AI output not having copyright protection, it is public domain): you get sued to oblivion on trade secrets or EULA violation.
